The Gombe State Police Command has arrested Ahmadu Saminu, also known as Malam Mai Batalia, a fortune teller, for allegedly impregnating another man’s wife.
DAILY INSIDER gathered that the 25-year-old man works with clients from various LGAs, states, and neighbouring areas, interpreting dreams and visions.
However, a disturbing incident occurred when a woman, seeking interpretation for a nightmare, visited Saminu. Allegedly, he hypnotized her and took advantage of her sexually.
The victim’s husband, Bashiru Bello, reported the incident to the police. According to him, his 20-year-old wife sought Saminu’s help after dreaming that her mother was a witch. Instead, she was lured into Saminu’s room and assaulted.
Confirming the arrest, Gombe State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Buhari Abdullahi, stated that Saminu was detained for impregnating another man’s wife.
Abdullahi said, “That is what we can’t say for now until the medical examination result is obtained.
“However, the victim claimed she was pregnant for four months but bled and, as a result, lost the pregnancy. We have taken the victim to the hospital to ascertain the allegation. But the case is in court.”
